Church to air debate between 'Science Guy' and creationist

On Feb. 4, Dueber United Methodist Church at 645 Dueber Ave. SW will host a simulcast debate on creationism featuring Bill Nye, “The Science Guy” and Ken Ham, CEO of Answers in Genesis.

“Bill Nye and Ken Ham are excellent responders to the question of whether Biblical Creationism is a viable answer to how our world came into existence, the Rev. Chet Harris said in a statement. “Both Nye and Ham are capable apologists possessing integrity and a comprehensive knowledge of the topic. I am certain the debate will reflect their character and stature as proponents of two diverse opinions. Whether you are purely science, staunch Biblical Creationist, or somewhere in between this debate is a sterling opportunity to grow in knowledge and prove to a skeptical world people of diverse beliefs can co-exist with respect for each other. Dueber Church has a lengthy history of providing quality apologetic seminars and we are enthused to host this timely event.

The event will be streamed at 7 p.m. from the Creation Museum. Because of the expected response, tickets are required. They may be reserved by calling the church office at 330- There will be a will-call table at the entrance. They also may be picked up at the church office in advance. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
